A Prospe ctiye Result of the "sick-Bed-

The open and defiant efforts to turn the
City Fire Department into double-decked,
high-pressure political machine, with the
Commissioners and entire force 10 take or
ders and refreshments direct from the head
quarters of said machine, is beginning to
bear fruit which the property-holders of
Sacramento will not relish. The principal
ones filed a protest in advance of the recent
funny business" by petitioning unani-
mousiy in favor of Mr.. Sullivan's retention
as Chief of the Department, and expressing
the utmost confidence in his efficiency and
his devotion to the interests of the city.
This petition and the numerous personal
requests to Commissioners had not the least
effect however, to stay the work of the
political "bossesn in their orders to the
majority of the Board, to entirely upset the
department in the interests of complete
subserviency to political machinism."

almost impossible, even for the most care

think an ordinance should DO drawn up,
ut the instance of q committee OF the Cot

similar committee Of insurance mon, an
ordinance that would cover all possible
contingencies and make absolute safety an
almost possibility. Such an ordinance
should especially levy a fine to prevent
the accumulation OF loose cotton in sheds
and yards. And, after this committee had
agreed upon satisfactory ordinance, il
might give some time to the confederation

in times Of threatened danger.
